The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 393 It’s hard for you
Zhuxi responded "yes" and waited for Empress Dowager De to finish a bag of hookah, then slowly refilled it for her.

In the Sui Yuxuan, Concubine Wan drank the medicine but saw no relief. The rash on her face not only did not subside, but continued to swell quietly.

When I woke up in the morning, it was just a smooth red mark, but by noon, I could already feel the bump on my face.

Concubine Wan's heart, which had been appeased by Ulanara, was now in suspense again.

"Jinxi, come and take a look, is my face swollen?
Didn’t you say that you’ll get better after taking the medicine?

Why is this happening? Where is Doctor Qiu? Call him over.
I want to ask what's going on!"

Cui Jinxi brought another bowl of medicine and comforted Concubine Wan in a gentle voice.

"Don't be afraid, my lady. Doctor Qiu said that this medicine won't work that quickly.

You just took the medicine two hours ago, so I think the rash will continue to break out for a while.

Doctor Qiu told me to take this medicine regularly and I will be cured in three to five days."

Without saying a word, Concubine Wan took the medicine and drank it in one gulp.

But she was still anxious.

"I'll drink it. If there's no effect by evening, call the Imperial Hospital to come to me!"

Cui Jinxi handed the empty bowl to Luo Yu beside her and was about to comfort Concubine Wan.

Luo Yu, who has been talking less and less these days, suddenly said.

"My lady, please don't be anxious. The Queen has given you a string of red jade beads.
I heard it has a calming and soothing effect. Why don't I find it for you?

You sniff the bead, relax yourself, and when you are calm,
Combined with the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, I'm afraid the internal heat syndrome will be cured."

Lady Wan nodded irritably and said.

"Then go find it quickly. I have been feeling anxious and uneasy today.

Even I find this abnormal, so go now! "

Luo Yu quickly agreed, went to find the string of red jade beads that Ulanara had awarded him, and presented it to Concubine Wan with both hands.

As Concubine Wan sniffed the fragrance emanating from the beads, her mind gradually relaxed.

Cui Jinxi was close by and also relaxed as she smelled the fragrance.

“The gift from Her Majesty the Queen is indeed a good thing.

Luoyu, go and prepare the medicine for me tonight."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Luo Yu's eyes, but she didn't let anyone see it.

Even though he worked so hard for Concubine Wan, he still couldn't get any praise from her. Instead, he kept Cui Jinxi by his side to serve him every day.

Luo Yu, who used to serve Concubine Wan personally, gradually fell into a position where he was only fit to serve tea and water to Concubine Wan.

Luo Yu concealed his dissatisfaction and walked out.

Concubine Wan heard the noise of Luoyu going out, opened her eyes, and suddenly said.

"Jinxi, I was so abnormal today, now I have calmed down,

I suddenly thought, could it be that someone wants to harm me? "

Cui Jinxi's expression remained unchanged and she smiled gently.

"You are worrying too much. You are favored by the Emperor.
But you are not arrogant, and there has never been anyone who has a problem with you in the past.

How could someone suddenly harm you?

Didn't the imperial physician say today that the young lady's spleen and stomach have been out of balance these days?
Rash caused by inflammation.

My dear, please don’t think too much and just focus on recuperating.

Today is the day for the whole palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother only said that you were not feeling well and were unable to go to the Cining Palace.

The Emperor is thinking of you, hasn't he given you so many rewards?"

Concubine Wan didn't say anything, but she was thinking of someone in her mind.

She couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her face.

She didn't look like this originally, but after the flood, her stable life was ruined.

When she woke up again, she looked like this now. Lady Wan wondered, could it be that the mysterious person who had replaced her face was not skilled enough and was now backfiring?

She suddenly thought, if she lost her beautiful face, would she no longer be favored?

She gradually became flustered again, and even when Cui Jinxi held the beads in front of her, she could not suppress her irritation.

However, Cui Jinxi discovered that whenever Concubine Wan became irritated, her face would become even redder.

Before Cui Jinxi could comfort Concubine Wan again, she suddenly heard a message from the eunuch outside.

"The Emperor has arrived! Concubine Hua has arrived!"

The moment Concubine Wan heard the news, her heart felt like it was sinking into an icy cave!
She instantly got angry at Cui Jinxi.

"Didn't you say not to report to the Emperor?! Why did the Emperor come here suddenly?!"

Cui Jinxi looked at Concubine Wan’s red face and knew it was too late.

He didn't care about Concubine Wan's rage, and grabbed the face towel he had prepared for her in the morning and covered her face with it.

Just as he finished all this and before he could say anything else, the door of Sui Yuxuan was pushed open.

Yinzhen and Nian Shilan walked in, and Concubine Wan hurriedly stood up and knelt down.

But she lowered her head deliberately and didn't dare to raise it at all.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor and to Concubine Hua.

At the beginning of the new year, I cannot go to the Cining Palace to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager.
I hope the emperor will forgive me!"

Yinzhen looked at Concubine Wan, who was dressed in casual clothes and kneeling on the ground without seeing her face.

he said.

"Get up. I just came out of the Cining Palace. I heard that you were not feeling well, so I came to see you."

Concubine Wan was helped by Cui Jinxi and slowly stood up, but she still kept her head down and refused to look up.

Yinzhen sat down and looked up, only to see that the upper half of Concubine Wan's face that was not covered by the veil was red.

He opened his mouth in astonishment.

Before coming, he heard Su Peisheng say that Concubine Wan had a rash on her face when she woke up early in the morning, and he thought it was just ordinary spots.

Now I see it with my own eyes, it’s all over his face.

Yinzhen was the emperor and had seen a lot of things, so he suppressed his doubts.

Concubine Wan was smart. Although she lowered her head, she saw that Yinzhen didn't speak for a long time, and she knew that Yinzhen had seen her face, so she said.

"I've frightened the emperor by my appearance. I'm guilty."

As he said this, he was about to kneel down again.

Cui Jinxi, who was following behind her, also had to kneel down.

Yinzhen said.

"Okay, okay, you're not feeling well, what's the crime?
I just came to see you, and I asked Doctor Wen to come for you."

Nian Shilan, who had been standing nearby, said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Lady Wan. When the Emperor heard that you were ill, he sent for Doctor Wen, who was off duty.

It should be here soon. I know that women all love beauty, but who doesn't have the three disasters and eight troubles?
When you take good care of yourself, you will still be as beautiful as before."

Lady Wan said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Empress Hua. I am unlucky.

He felt it was unlucky to fall ill on such a good day and did not want to let the emperor know.

I didn't expect that the emperor was worried about me and came to see me in person.

I am so grateful. "

As they were talking, Wen Xianqing rushed over with a medicine box.

"Your humble servant pays respects to His Majesty. Long live the emperor!"

When Yinzhen saw Wen Xianqing, he smiled, a rare moment on his face.

"Doctor Wen has arrived just in time. Today is the first day of the first lunar month. I summoned you to come.
You will not be able to reunite with your family. I am sorry for what I have done to you. Get up."
